Used Motorhomes Buying Advice

Whether you are buying used motorhomes from a private seller or a dealer there are several points to consider before making your purchase.

Buying used motorhomes follows the sample principles as when purchasing a used car.

A Valid Logbook

Previous and Current MOT's (if older than 3 years old)

Dealer Stamped Service History

It is true that used motorhomes are used far less than other vehicles using the same chassis i.e. delivery vans.  With this in mind it is good practice to inspect the motorhome for corroded or seized parts due to lack of use.  

Remember, although motorhomes probably travel long distances, this is generally only a few times a year, so spend much of the year parked or in storage. This same principle also applies to the tyres as deterioration is more likely than actual tyre wear.  Look for sign of deterioration on the tyre walls.

Checking the body for damage

Motorhomes are constructed from plastic and fibreglass.  This makes them susceptible to damage.  Always check all of the lower corners of the used motorhomes and look for any scratches to panels and windows.

At Motorhome Sales we always check our used motorhomes for any damage, scratches or defects and correct them prior to selling.  All of our used motorhomes are rigorously tested for faults.
